In addition to pure electric vehicles, can methanol vehicles become another option in the market?

Judging from the current application situation, methanol vehicles are indeed another choice for regional markets such as logistics and transportation, and are of great significance for low-carbon, clean and diversified vehicle fuels. In the "new four modernizations" of automobiles, intelligence, interconnection and sharing have always been the high points occupied by the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. While electrification appears to have unified hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, consumer concerns about reliability, battery life, range, and more have led to some differences.

With the optimization of the policy environment, strict emission regulations and breakthroughs in core technologies, methanol vehicles that are highly in line with China's energy structure have gradually entered people's field of vision。So the problem arises: under the irreversible trend of electric drive, according to the local situation, methanol vehicles are "good cats".

From the perspective of "catching mice", methanol vehicles are no worse than mainstream new energy vehicles.

In terms of alleviating the contradiction between fuel supply and demand, reducing exhaust emissions and improving the basic requirements of the atmospheric environment, methanol vehicles have become one of the best choices because of their high compatibility with China's energy structure。In the environment of abundant coal resources and shortage of oil and gas, more than 40% of China's coal resources are high-sulfur coal. This part of the high-sulfur coal is not suitable for direct use as a power generation or industrial fuel, but it can be used to produce methanol.

Methanol vehicles and methanol fuel were officially introduced into the automotive and fuel market and played an important role in promoting the application of methanol vehicles and methanol fuel. Methanol vehicles are set to be an option for the future development of the transportation industry.

This is also very likely. Because methanol passes through the tank, it will turn into water after conversion.

In this case, there must be a lot of choices.

I think methanol vehicles may become another option in the market.

I think it's okay, because the car performance of methanol is also very good.

It is a new energy vehicle.

Cars fueled by methanol. Methanol is a liquid mainly produced by the vaporization and hydrogenation of coal, and its properties are similar to that of gasoline, and it can also be used in ignition engines.

Methanol is commonly known as "wood alcohol" or "wood spirit", methanol instead of petroleum fuel has been used in foreign countries for many years, methanol vehicle control system technology has been very mature, and ethanol, methanol has a low calorific value, but high octane number, also oxygen.

Burning methanol also requires the use of specialized engines. However, unlike ethanol, methanol itself is toxic, corrosive to non-ferrous metals, and swelling to rubber parts, so it is necessary to design the engine and the fuel distribution system on the vehicle. This type of car that is specifically designed to burn methanol fuel is called a methanol car.

Methanol cars also have the problem of cold starting, so methanol is mostly used in cars in the form of mixing with gasoline. The most common is M85, which is a mixture of 85% methanol and 15% gasoline.

In some parts of China, methanol gasoline containing 15% methanol is now being demonstrated, which contains a co-solvent that is miscible with gasoline, as well as a corrosion inhibitor that inhibits metal corrosion, and can be used in gasoline engines without any modifications.

Methanol car is also a new energy vehicle, methanol is now an alternative fuel to gasoline, is a new fuel energy, and the car also belongs to new energy vehicles. The emissions after methanol combustion are also relatively environmentally friendly, which is in line with the national environmental protection concept and should be vigorously supported and promoted.

Methanol will be an important choice for new energy in the era of green development in the world.

Methanol will be an important choice for new energy in the era of green development in the world. From the perspective of national energy security, from the perspective of blue sky defense and environmental protection, the popularization of methanol vehicles is very necessary. Methanol fuel has excellent environmental friendliness.

According to the report of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the calorific value of methanol fuel can reduce more than 80% of NOX and more than 50% of CO2 by replacing coal and fuel oil, and the emission reduction effect is very significant. So methanol vehicles are new energy vehicles.

Methanol vehicles are not currently new energy vehicles, and methanol vehicles are still in the stage of comprehensive popularization of test chain skin penetration, but compared with pure electric vehicles, methanol vehicles are likely to become new energy vehicles in the future once they break through the technical bottleneck of a certain shed ridge in the short term.

Methanol is used as a fuel in automobiles mainly through blending and pure methanol substitution. Blending is the mixing of methanol with gasoline in different proportions (e.g. M10, M15, M30, etc.). As fuel for engines, it is generally called methanol gasoline; Pure methanol substitution refers to the direct use of a high proportion of methanol (such as M85, M100) as automobile fuel, which requires the modification of the engine structure, which is technically difficult.

High power generation efficiency. If combined heat and power is realized, the total fuel utilization rate can reach more than 80%, and the energy conversion efficiency is high, which greatly exceeds the efficiency of gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines.

Convenient. The oil supply is convenient and fast. At room temperature and pressure, it only takes a few minutes to spray methanol, avoiding too long waiting time for pure electric vehicle charging.

Easy to maintain. The methanol fuel cell unit contains no or few moving parts, providing reliable operation and low maintenance costs. Environmental protection.

Methanol fuel cell vehicles only emit carbon dioxide and water, and the emitted carbon dioxide can also be utilized. Low noise. When the methanol fuel cell system is running, the noise is below 60 decibels, which is relatively quiet.

Safe. When the methanol fuel cell system is <> to work, there are no transmission parts and high-pressure components, and there are no unsafe factors such as **. Methanol is a chemical raw material with a wide range of uses. It is safe to use methanol according to the operating specifications.

All consumers who buy pure electric vehicles are feeling the "saving" of pure electric vehicles for the first time. It's time to buy a car. Due to China's policy support, pure electric vehicles do not need to pay purchase tax (the purchase tax of fuel vehicles is 10% of the tax-exclusive vehicle**).

Compared with fuel vehicles, pure electric vehicles save about 10% of the cost of new cars.

In addition, pure electric vehicles can apply for national and local subsidies, and many pure electric orange teasing cars are not much higher than fuel vehicles of the same level. How to choose between fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles? Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of electric vehicles in detail.

Secondly, BEVs do not need to burn oil. This is obviously nonsense, but this nonsense really refers to the fact that pure electric vehicles can save a lot of gas. According to the current oil price at gas stations and the electricity price at charging stations, users of pure electric vehicles can save at least a few hundred yuan a month under the condition of filial piety of ordinary vehicles.

A few thousand dollars a year. The battery life of current BEVs is at least 5 years. High octane number, which can significantly increase the mixed octane number of the fuel, enhance the anti-knock performance, improve the compression ratio of the engine, and thus increase the power of the engine.

The advantage is that it is more economical and environmentally friendly, the potato is more cost-saving, the installation cost is relatively low, and it can also reduce emissions, which can reduce pollution, and the disadvantage is that it will cause damage to the oil gauge, and it will also increase the number of fuel pumps to answer the workload, which will lead to the reduction of the life of the fuel pump, and it is more difficult to start in winter.

The adaptability is worse than the loss, which can bring benefits to consumers, the cost is relatively low, and it is more friendly to the environment.

The advantage is that it is particularly practical and cost-effective, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to clean and there will be dirt inside.

Because methanol is very unstable, there will be great safety hazards when applied to the car, and the cost of the car will be relatively high.

Pure electric new energy vehicles are cheaper, more cost-effective, and the safety performance is particularly good, and the problems of new energy vehicles are less than those of the mountains, and the danger of formaldehyde vehicles is relatively high, and the maintenance costs in the later stage are very high.

<> "Will methanol vehicles be the next breakthrough in the development of new energy vehicles?"

Nowadays, the development of new energy vehicles has been an urgent matter for all blind car manufacturers, although the battery capacity and mileage have reached a certain height at this stage. But that doesn't mean.

Other fuels don't do the same, such as methanol cars. So will it be the next breakthrough in the development of new energy vehicles in the future?

First, let's talk about what methanol fuel is. Methanol, commonly known as "wood alcohol" or "wood spirit", is a colorless, transparent, slightly alcohol-smelling, and water-soluble and volatile liquid. I.

The methanol fuel we are using is the use of industrial methanol or fuel methanol plus denatured alcohol additives, and then with the existing national standard gasoline and diesel according to a certain volume or quality through strict scientific process blending.

A new type of clean fuel.

So, why can methanol be used as a fuel for cars? Because it has the following advantages:

1. The combustion speed is faster and more sufficient, and the probability of particulate matter and soot is greatly reduced.

2. Wide applicability. Methanol gasoline and diesel can be added to traditional fuels in a certain proportion with refined oil to improve emissions. Moreover, the methanol fuel supply system can directly use the equipment and facilities of the gas station, 3. Methanol also has the effect of increasing the octane number, and the use of methanol fuel on the car can improve the thermal efficiency to a certain extent.

4. It is easy to transport and preserve, because methanol fuel has a lower vapor pressure than gasoline.

5. Low cost. The first level of methanol itself is equivalent to one-third of the market price of diesel, and if the car uses methanol fuel, it can significantly improve the current situation of China's energy import demand and improve the air.

quality, reduce the cost of using the car.

6. Good security. The vapor pressure of methanol is smaller than that of gasoline, the specific gravity is higher, the vapor is less volatile than gasoline, and the risk of fire is less than that of gasoline.

However, methanol itself is toxic, corrosive to non-ferrous metals, swelling to rubber parts, and the latent heat of vaporization of methanol is high, which is easy to cause poor low-temperature starting performance of methanol fuel; When the ambient temperature is high.

Methanol gasoline bucket is easy to form gas resistance in the oil circuit, resulting in poor fuel supply to the car; It is easy to form unconventional pollution emissions during incomplete combustion, especially the high emission of formaldehyde, which can easily cause poisoning of automobile three-way catalytic converters.

In addition, methanol is also an excellent cavity grinding solvent, which will damage the oil film of the cylinder wall after entering the cylinder, and it is easy to cause abnormal wear at the friction of the piston ring of the cylinder wall; Moreover, the methanol incomplete combustion products contain acidic substances, which is easy.

Causes premature acidification of engine lubricating oil. Therefore, at present, China is only promoting it on a small scale, rather than using it universally.

From a large point of view, methanol fuel is the most suitable way to change the current stage of serious air pollution and resource shortage, and the resources for the production of methanol fuel are also abundant enough. So, when in the future we will burn methanol.

After the difficult technology is overcome, methanol vehicles will be another milestone in the development of new energy vehicles.

New energy vehicles currently do not include vehicles that are directly driven by methanol engines, but methanol-fueled range-extender electric vehicles and methanol-fueled hydrogen-fueled electric vehicles that produce hydrogen from methanol** are both new energy vehicles that can receive subsidies and green cards. Currently, there are few of the latter.

Methanol fuel. It is the only energy source in China that has pricing power. Coal-to-methanol has everything.

Of course, methanol can also be a renewable energy source and is known as "liquid sunlight". Unlike oil and gas, which are essentially controlled by the United States. So methanol is the best strategic security energy source in the country!

Methanol cars. Like natural gas cars, it is a clean alternative energy car.

Geely Automobile is the main R&D vehicle for methanol in China. Since 2005, we have always believed that methanol vehicles are the most suitable for China's national conditions.

With the same engine displacement, methanol is weaker than diesel, but superior to gasoline and natural gas. The economy is somewhere between diesel and natural gas, and of course it is also affected by methanol**.

At present, domestic taxis can see a lot of methanol fuel cars in Xi'an and Guiyang. In the field of commercial vehicles, Geely just launched last year, and is still in the trial promotion stage in Shanxi, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and other places where methanol fuel is abundant.

At present, the sales of LNG heavy trucks are very hot, accounting for a lot of the diesel engine market instead of 10%. Can methanol heavy trucks get a piece of the pie in the future? I think it's very likely.

Environmental urgency.

On July 3, 2018, the company issued a notice on the issuance of a three-year action plan to win the battle to defend the blue sky.

After three years of efforts, the total emission of major air pollutants has been greatly reduced, the greenhouse gas emission has been reduced in a coordinated manner, the concentration of fine particulate matter has been further significantly reduced, the number of heavily polluted days has been significantly reduced, the ambient air quality has been significantly improved, and the people's sense of blue sky happiness has been significantly enhanced. Confession.

Among all fuel types including diesel, gasoline, natural gas and methanol fuels, methanol fuel has the most obvious advantages of low carbon, environmental protection and recyclability.

National policies can use methanol to harness its power. It seems that Schuff is right again this time. What do other manufacturers think?

Millions of car purchase subsidies.
